Hello everyone!

I recently started to travel a lot for tourism and I always don’t know how to properly get the info about the place I’m visiting.

I don’t like guided tours so I thought to use Wikivoyage but the articles are so reductive in comparison to what you can find on Wikipedia that unfortunately doesn’t have a TTS option.

What do you use then? How do you organize yourself?

    Check the neighborhood maps on nomadlist. Check out where there are supposed to be cool stuff/people. Usually I just search Google maps for things/streets in those neighborhoods for things that might be interesting… Cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, etc…

    You MUST get used to meeting locals when you’re traveling a lot. Meetup.com, couchsurfing, internations, dating apps, or even the hostel where you are staying.

    For context, I traveled full time, nonstop for 4ish years before covid. This is how I did the majority of my travel. Things like attractions or museums or historical places get really old really fast. If I never set foot in an art museum for the rest of my life, I will not be upset in the slightest. People, food, shopping, culture… This is the only thing I feel is worth seeing anymore.
